Tips for getting the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Heard the Waves - Comfortable, Cozy Oceanfront Beach Cottage! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your group.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
